I received a scathing editorial review this week. Three pages of “difficulties” with my manuscript followed by a mention of two scenes which are working well. Two scenes! In a whole novel!

Then I went to ultimate (Frisbee) to escape my brain and had a full-speed collision with a train. Okay, it was a large man. But it felt like a train and now it hurts to breathe.

So, having spent my week getting the smack-down (to use a term from Min’s world), I have now made myself a cup of coffee and booked a hair appointment. If that doesn’t work, I’ll add a pedicure. Maybe some shopping. A gigantic piece of chocolate cake. Wine.

Wait, it’s only 9:36. The wine might have to wait a couple hours.
